… What? I used to smoke a pack a day, now I just vape. I’ve never seen a smoke shop that doesn’t sell juice

And to clarify to you specifically and the three-ish people that upvoted me, on a weekly basis he helps a 40 year old dude with multiple sclerosis do history homework, and they were covering the second world war. He read the Wikipedia of fascism, and he literally said that he had no idea it was a right wing ideology.

What can I glean from that? I have no fucking clue. Fuck Nazis, fuck republicans. I can only hope that there is a large group of people voting conservative who dont understand the consequence of this next election. Because if you’re right than like 40% of the country are bigots, and even if the Democrats win, we’re *still fast tracking to collapse

That’s very not true. And it’s honestly scarier. I work about ten minutes from Trump’s first assassination attempt.

My boss is a good Christian who didn’t know that fascism is a far right ideology.

They’re in their own echo chamber, just like we are. They just don’t understand that their echo chamber leads to a Hitler 2.0.

Just to be clear, we’re talking about Jamie Loftus, prime suspect in the 2009 Grand Rapids murders?

Hmm I’m a technically registered as Republican (registered 15+ years ago, and I never bothered to change it) and I’ve done some android programming, I know how to spoof my location…

Are you talking about suspected hammer murderer, Jamie Loftus?

Yep. Too many people think anarchy is throwing bricks at windows. It just means opposing hierarchy. Hoping a fascist wins is the literal opposite of that

You’re a piss poor anarchist if you want the the orange fascist to win

Cool, so if you dont vote for Harris, you’re wasting your vote.

I also think philosophy is mostly dumb. But there is a vacuum here, shitty democracy or fascism. You can throw shit on the tracks, that just means one less vote against fascism

Ugh. Yeah I’ve heard that "it isn’t the best. It was the easiest to sign up for when the reddit exodus happened. I’m anti Israel and pro Ukraine and I’m always busy with real life/my own hobbies. I just don’t have the bandwidth for finding the best instance. C

Hey I’ve been looking for someone to ask, and you seem to know, is Lemmy.world cool?

I don’t have a good primary source, its been a lot of disparate googling. But if you have any questions at all, let me know. I love helping

Same. I went from one overly complicated Debian install to two dozen neat and self contained VMs that do one thing each. I even tricked a Windows VM into not knowing that it’s a VM, so I can game with anticheat games.

Java was my first language over ten years ago. I haven’t touched it in a decade (I’m mostly a hobbyist). I am grateful that I had to type all that shit out, and grateful that I don’t have to anymore (I’ve been using python since then).

I just recently helped a younger friend with their Java homework. I had to Google the syntax, but otherwise helped them ace it. I’ve mostly used Python since then, but learning java gave me such a good base of the fundamentals

You know that you dont have to pay for a Windows license right? You can permanently activate it (and any version of office) with a script. I found some article a while ago talking about it, some official Microsoft tech support used it because they were frustrated with Windows, so it’s legit

I do computer repair/tech support for just a small business. I haven’t used Windows on a a personal machine in a looong time, but that script helps me when I get stuck at work

Same! Like eight years now. I never really tried anything else, it clicked so fast and is so intuitive

Maybe you could sync the file with Syncthing or Nextcloud. And sqlite is the default android db type… I’m tempted to give it a shot, I just started looking for a solid self hosted note taking thing

Hell yeah dude, same! I just re-downloaded that a month ago!

Hah that’s actually two different episodes, but they took place at the same time

Until they are nuked as they should be
